Have I correctly installed my cam shaft?
Drew400:
Hello all,
Having put the top half back together, I need some reassurance (or correction) that my camshaft is correctly installed. That's partly because the manual isn't totally clear to me, such as it's not obvious from which side the accompanying photos are taken.
My photos below hopefully show a correct installation. The pistons in cylinders 1 and 4 are high in their barrels (2 and 3 are low), the T mark for 1 & 4 is lined up with the crankcase mark and the lines on the cam sprocket are horizontal.
I guess I'll know for definite when the rockers are back on, but I didn't really want to test that theory before you guys and gals have had a chance to comment.
Thank you.
D.
p.s. I've discovered a part that I have failed to install - starter gear bolt & tab washer, doh! Looks like I have to separate the crankcases again, although the manual suggests I can do this without dismantling the top half. Any views, comments (like 'you idiot!) or tips, much appreciated!... yet another doh! I guess next time I do this job I'll have a better system of recording dismantling!

Drew, there must be something wrong with your camera or, my eye sight because i can not see the notch in the end of the cam shaft.

Ah, so there's a notch on the end of the camshaft is there? Hmm, something else for me to check in the garage! Thank you. Could be an important point! Page 17 doesn't make that clear or am I misreading something?
Cheers, D.

this was for the 550 but sure it will be similar

Drew, it is not a notch like in Mike post. I have been looking for a 350 picture because i know the 400 manual is not that clear if you have never done one before. Did notice that you have no cam blades in.
